A Feb. 18 message to VCU's deans
Feb. 18, 2025
VCU is reviewing federal and state directives and orders.
As has been shared previously, VCU is involved in bipartisan conversations at the state and federal level about how White House executive orders, federal agency directives and court decisions may impact the university.
On Feb. 14, the U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights issued a letter to educational institutions across the country that provides compliance guidance. Provost Sotiropoulos is leading a team of officials to oversee VCU’s review of federal and state directives and orders. This letter may assist in that review.
